I think the Wii U will not drop below the 50,000 ever, and have one a constancy of 70,000-80,000...
For me the week with X sold more of 100,000.
The Week of Bayonetta 2 sold more of 120,000.
The week with Hyrule Warriors sold in Japan more of 30,000 (in USA and Eu dont have boost).
And on November Wii U will sell always more of 100,000, in December minimum 200,000, and the week bwfore chrismas 500,000.
Good number.


MK8 barely managed to push it beyond 180k, B2 will manage to take it to 120k? Why? Arent you a bit to optimistic?

first of all, "barely managed to push it beyond 180k", as if they were a few...second, the Wii U was almost 190,000...

Tree: Wii U has passed from 31,000 at 187,000, +500%... when Bayonetta 2 resaled, i think Wii U will stay on 80,000, so, the increase will be of 50%... the game have 31,000 only in USA, so, for me isn't impossible.


80k? On what basis... do you really think that in 4 or 5 weeks the WiiU will be able to stay at 80k on a constatnt basis trough the summer? How can that even be a seriosu possibility? Lets say that from this point on the sales drop ~30% on a weekly basis (they will drop more, but just for the ideas sake): Week 1: ~190k  Week 2: ~140k Week 3: ~100k  Week 4: 70k  Week 5: ~50k.

Best case the WiiU will managae to ride in the 40-50k region trough the summer, that is if nothing drastic is announced at e3. From that point it could drop waaay below or stay somewhat higher,

I agree with you that the Wii U will not stand steady on 80,000, infact i wrote that which will fall on the 50,000, but in September i think sold more.

On the end of Augost coming Hyrule Warriors, that that will push Wii U on 30,000 in Japan, and and then from September the hardware sales start to rise.

IMHO, for me 120,000, maybe 100/110K, but is anyway the good sales.

Yes, I do realize that. So? 

PS4 was at 120k, let's assume it's new baseline will be slightly higher (130k) and will take around a month to drop to that level. Now let's assume Wii U drops 30% next week (highly optimistic but still). You're at 130k already and it's only going to drop from there.

Indeed. Mario Kart will sell for longer and make the bigger difference in the long run. But even if the Wii U's new baseline is doubled to 65k, it's still only half that of the PS4. So the Wii U will drop just too quickly because of where the consoles were before comparitively for the Wii U to stay on top. 

You think the Wii U will be at ~130k this week? Or do you actually mean next week? Either way, wow.

OT: No. It's not at the top and never will be at the top. However, if Nintendo plans out their game releases well (better than you have in your OP) and have a good/great E3 showing then I can definitely see a nice looking baseline for the Wii U. 

However, Nintendo isn't smart right now, so don't expect them to magically change.

There has to be some reason behind the madness.. :)

There has to be some strategi behind the "We wait until PS4One is out to use $ on PR"

Fair enough

Lets hope that Hyrule Warriors will be well received in Japan, if so it could give it a strong boost there. Now we will only have to wait and see

In 3-5 weeks I predict a lot of awfully quiet Nintendo fans here.
